What Is Allopurinol 300mg?

Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces the amount of uric acid your body produces. High uric acid can cause gout flares, joint damage, and certain types of kidney stones. Allopurinol is taken daily as a long-term therapy to keep uric acid levels down; it does not treat an acute gout attack that is already underway. It is available as a generic tablet and under the brand name Zyloprim.

What Does Allopurinol 300mg Treat?

Gout (long-term management of hyperuricemia)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is allopurinol used for?

Allopurinol lowers uric acid levels in the blood. It is prescribed for long-term gout management, hyperuricemia caused by cancer chemotherapy, and prevention of recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones.

Do I need a prescription for allopurinol?

Yes. Allopurinol is a prescription medication in the United States. A licensed provider must review and approve your prescription before the pharmacy can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

Place your order and submit a valid prescription, or have your provider send it directly to our pharmacy. Once a licensed pharmacist verifies the prescription, your medication ships from our licensed U.S. pharmacy in discreet packaging.

How long does allopurinol take to work?

Uric acid levels typically begin to fall within one to two weeks, but it may take several months to reach your target level and reduce gout flares. Gout attacks can temporarily increase when starting; your provider may prescribe additional medication during this period.

Can allopurinol treat a gout attack that has already started?

No. Allopurinol prevents future flares by lowering uric acid over time but does not relieve an acute attack. If you are already taking it when a flare occurs, most providers recommend continuing it and treating the flare separately.

What should I avoid while taking allopurinol?

Limit alcohol, which can raise uric acid, and stay well hydrated. Tell your provider about all medications you take, especially azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and warfarin, which interact with allopurinol.

What if I develop a rash on allopurinol?

Stop taking allopurinol and contact your provider right away. A rash can be the first sign of a rare but serious skin reaction, and prompt evaluation is important.
